5-step recipe for social media success:

This essay is one of my all-time favourites!!
Nathan talks about a model he uses to think about wealth-creation. Itās a quite long essay, but worth reading multiple times!
We could outline the progression to mastering a musical instrument, so we should also be able to do the same with earning a living.
What lessons do you need to learn to go from odd jobs around the neighborhood to owning a real estate empire? From working as a freelancer to selling your own digital products? What about from working at Wendyās to owning a SaaS company earning over $1 million per month? That last one is my own path.
